With a defiant gesture against the tyranny of the sun, you rend the heavens and summon a veil of artificial night. This spell can only be cast during daylight hours while you are outdoors with a clear view of the sky.

You take control of the sky within a 5-mile radius, creating a sphere of darkness that blocks out sunlight, casting the area in a shadowy twilight. This change affects natural light, but magical light sources remain unaffected. Creatures with sunlight sensitivity do not suffer its effects while within the area.

The artificial night begins to dissipate when the spell ends, with the light and warmth of day gradually returning over 1 minute.

If you move to a location where you no longer have a clear path to the sky, the spell ends immediately.
